What the EFF??

(Sat In draft from from Mods Vs. Rockers 2011 - posted today. )


Had an AMAZING 24 hours in Seattle this past weekend. Perhaps it was the over abundant
invitations on the Friday and the amazing art opening and late night visits I felt compelled to attend,  or it could have been the late night espresso and the super early morning, but from the moment I arrived fresh off the 1-5 and checked into my supercleanmodern hotel in the Emerald City It was like I had landed from another planet.
Or as a friend of mine said "Don't mind her, she is jet lagged, just got off a flight from Zurich". And they were so right!

Laundry List


  • Could not decide what to wear
  • Had issue with starting the Lambretta
  • Lambretta formulated a major crush on somebody else and would ONLY respond to them
  • nearly got run over - TWICE by the same person
  • got caught up in looking off into space and not responding when spoken to (yep, space case!)
  • amazing dinner
  • Wine, lots of delicious red wine (and beer, and more wine)
  • cut hand
  • broken mirrors / heavy pounding heart.
  • hot hot sun
  • Riding pants and tall leather boots
  • Primates!  Screaming, guitar playing, music loving primates!
  • HUGE purple bruises on left shin an hands (??)

But you know what?  I had SO MUCH FUN!
Seriously!  FUN!  What was supposed to be a crap day, turned out to be completely delicious!
Score Bonus points for a surprise brunch invite from a friend I had not seen in about a year.  It was good!  Really good.
Leaving was as usual not the best.  I have a hard time saying good by to the city I so want to move to and the people I would love to see more often.  But perhaps the fact that I don't see them as often keeps it fresh and interesting. Right?  
Yeah.  Let's do this again soon Seattle, you are amazing!  Oh yes, and I still have a crush on you.
